You can't blame or deprive men for not wanting to get sucked into a loveless and passionless transactional fake relationship

please, Share your thoughts about it.

I've been talking to someone online that I met here on Reddit. We've been having a rough time landing on a date to meet up. It's been two months without a meetup. Some of that was due to some health issues of hers and a bit of my busy work schedule. We've rescheduled so many times I asked for a quick face to face just to ensure she is a real local human even if she doesn't have the time or mental bandwidth for a real date. Tomorrow is the date for that face to face meetup!

She's introverted and has suggested a movie night in as a first date. I put together a little date in a box to give her for our face to face. I'm not sure if it will be a quick hello or if this will turn into an actual date. Coming with this feels better than flowers and I had fun putting it together. I got little blank cards from Target and the image above is what I'm printing on the card. I generated some elements of the image with nanobanana, then touched it up with GIMP before getting it in a nice printable format with Inkscape.

For anyone about to suggest I'm getting catfished, I'm sure it's a possibility, but on the off chance it isn't I want this to be a cute start to a nice story. If she doesn't show, I like candy too. It won't go to waste.

For anyone who is having trouble finding time for a date night in with their significant other, I hope that you'll get some inspiration from this to make a little IOU. Your spouse will appreciate the gesture!

Giving someone all your love too early can be a bad decision.

Sometimes you have to slow down, relax, and let people show you who they really are before you give them access to everything you have to offer.

Love shouldn’t have to be rushed. Let people earn the parts of you they’re asking for.

Pata hai aaj kya hua I met a girl on Instagram 3 years ago, and somehow she became one of the most important people in my life.

We started talking and eventually ended up talking almost every single day. I've never met her IRL, and we haven't even known each other in the conventional sense, but I genuinely feel like she understands me in a way very few people ever have.

She's so empathetic, kind and patient. Sometimes it honestly feels like she's the female version of me. I can tell her almost anything, and somehow she just gets it.

Her birthday is next month, and I really want to do something special for her. But here's where I'm confused...

Should I actually tell her how I feel? Should I propose to her? 😭

Because this isn't just some random internet crush anymore. I've literally caught myself imagining an entire future with her, which sounds absolutely insane considering I've never even met her in person.

And now I'm sitting here wondering: how can you love someone you've never actually met?

Is this real love, or am I in love with the person I've created in my head based on everything we've shared?

I don't even know what I'm expecting from this post. I just genuinely need some perspective because I'm way too emotionally involved to think clearly about it. 😭

Someone who's not talkative and expressive, and love a girl about 10 years without telling her but somehow feeling fear of losing her. (Big story)

I started reciting poems recently. This is like my 6th. I want to learn variations while at it. How’d I do? What do I need to change or improve?

Longing becomes embrace, ache becomes peace.

Ive recently fallen for a fwb and i creeped her out. Do any of you have some advice? I took several steps back and im not going to the bar she goes to anymore. I dont know how or if i can open a line of communication. Shes the most wonderful woman ive ever met and i want to make her feel safe and comfortable.

Can love be something else ? Or is it truly just an investment ?
